Just wondering, why does everyone get the Walbros and the OEM TTs?

Not sure about pricing, so I don't know which is cheaper, but are the Walbros that much better??

they are pretty much the samething

except the walbros are new and the TT's are ATLEAST 9 years old used.

Can't find the page anymore but I remembering seeing a comparison chart of the mkiv and walbro pumps(also had mkiii) at different fuel pressures and the higher the pressure the better the walbro looked.

I'm going with a Denso internal pump myself. Supposedly pumps 280lph and is ultra quiet. I need a quiet pump since I'm doing the 12v mod and heard that the Walbro's scream. Turboimport is selling the Denso's at a great price this month. You can buy them from their website or off of ebay.

if you get walbro be sure its from a reputable dealer. lots of ebay copies from china floating around, that even have walbro stamped on it.

I have two walbro 340's running at battery voltage (8AWG wire, 40A fuse, 40A relay triggered by AEM EMS). They definitely sing, esp when standing outside the car over the HKS Super Dragger (PT63, 3", no cats). Inside the car I can just barely make them out at idle when over 1/4 tank and they are noticeably audible when below 1/4 tank. I cannot hear them at all above idle or at any vehicle speed. I'm very sensitive to noise and prefer my car to be quiet until opened up. Loud and/or constant frequency tones bother me. Unless you're as bad as me about sound, it shouldn't be a problem.
